Due to my lack of creativity, here I am giving wide-legged pants another shot. The last time I showed such pants, many readers confirmed that they were unflattering. A few suggested trying a more fitted top…and sadly I could only find my pandex-y undertanks:

Tank: Theory one size

Seersucker Pants: Banana Republic 00P

Heels: Marc Fisher sz 6, thrifted

Necklace: J.Crew Handbag: LV Speedy 25

Heh, heh…and just for fun, a big fat N-O…the same outfit idea but with a baggier top and flats:

So…what do you guys think? Better than last time? Or still a no? I personally still don’t think wide legged pants are for me, but I think we can all agree that a slimming top and some nice platform heels really do make a difference. I LOVE these cognac leather peep toes…I found them at a “Savers” thrift store for $10. If Kerry didn’t always mention her great finds there I would have never popped in. The best part is everything is sorted by size!

A fellow petite, MoneyMaus, wanted to participate as well. She posts mostly about personal finance so I am hosting her photos on here : ) She is extra extra petite at 4’10” and 80lbs. Her “dont” were wide legged capris.

With flats…as the “don’t” :

And with pointy little heels…an instant “do” for work!

Thank you all so, so much for participating. Some of you have already suggested great ideas for future “challenges” so a different blogger will be hosting each one going forward. Kelly of AlterationsNeeded is doing the next one : )
